A notorious 95-year-old German Holocaust denier was sentenced to one year and four months in prison after being convicted of incitement by a court in Hamburg on Wednesday.
The charges against Ursula Haverbeck stem from comments she made during the 2015 criminal trial of former Nazi SS member Oskar Gröning, who served as a guard at Auschwitz.
Haverbeck claimed to reporters covering the trial that Auschwitz - where the Nazis systematically murdered at least 1.1 million people - was only a labour camp, not an extermination camp.
She made similar false claims in a television interview with the regional public broadcaster NDR.
The Hamburg court said on Wednesday that four months of Haverbeck's sentence would be considered served already because of long delays in bringing the case to trial.
